Honduras 1, Trinidad and Tobago 1, tie
 
July 7, 2005
MIAMI (AP) -- Christopher Birchall and Maynor Figueroa exchanged first half goals as Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras tied 1-1 in a first round CONCACAF Gold Cup game Wednesday night.

Both teams had opportunities to break the deadlock late in the second half but a couple of misfired shots kept the match a draw.

Honduras' Wilmer Velasquez missed an open goal when his shot deep in the goal area sailed above the crossbar in the 72nd minute. Trinidad and Tobago's Colin Samuel hit the crossbar with his shot from 25 yards nine minutes later.

Samuel's shot proved costly for Honduras, losing starting goalkeeper Victor Coello on the play. Coello dove to stop the shot but fell awkwardly and remained on the ground, favoring his left shoulder.

Reserve Junior Morales replaced Coello, who was diagnosed with a left shoulder separation.

Birchall opened the scoring with a goal at the 27th minute to put Trinidad and Tobago ahead 1-0. Birchall successfully converted on a shot from 25 yards, finding the upper-right corner.

But Honduras countered with Figueroa's game-tying goal in the 43rd minute. Figueroa blasted a free kick from the half circle past a wall of defenders and goalkeeper Kelvin Jack.

In Wednesday night's first game at the Orange Bowl, Panama surprised Group A favorite Colombia with a 1-0 victory.

Panama leads Group A with three points.

The second set of first round games will be played Saturday.
